Options for handling Bulk Mail

Proofpoint Essentials does not ordinarily quarantine legitimate bulk-email. That is, email that is sent to a large list of recipients who have either directly or passively agreed to receive communications from the sender or senders. In some cases however, if an email scores as both moderately spammy and high on the bulk mail scale, it may be quarantined. To help further manage legitimate bulk mail an organization can additionally enable the setting "Quarantine Bulk Email" which, when activated, will automatically quarantine an email that scores high as bulk mail. This setting can be enabled at both the organization and end-user level.
